What Are FIFA Women’s Rankings?

The FIFA Women’s Rankings are an official list maintained by FIFA that ranks national women’s soccer teams based on performance in international matches. The rankings use a points-based system that evaluates:

Match results (win, loss, draw)
Importance of the match (friendly vs. World Cup)
Strength of the opposing team
Goal difference

The rankings are updated every three months and are crucial for seeding in tournaments like the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Olympics, and continental competitions like UEFA Women’s Euro or CONCACAF W Championship.

USA Women’s National Team (USWNT) – Still on Top?

Yes, despite fierce competition, the USWNT continues to hold the No. 1 spot in the world rankings. Thanks to their strong performance in Olympic qualifiers and a dominant run in friendlies, they maintain a slim lead over Germany.

Highlights for the U.S. Women’s Team in 2025 so far:

Victory in the SheBelieves Cup 2025
Wins over Brazil, England, and Canada
Emerging stars like Alyssa Thompson and Jaedyn Shaw making a global impact

How FIFA Calculates Women’s Rankings

FIFA uses a “SUM” model, where:

Teams gain points for wins, especially against higher-ranked opponents
Draws offer fewer points but are valuable vs. stronger teams
Match type affects points: Competitive matches (World Cup, Olympics) offer more weight than friendlies

Formula Summary:

New Points = Old Points + Match Importance × (Result - Expected Result)

This means beating a stronger team earns big points, while losing to a lower-ranked team can hurt badly.

Regional Powerhouses to Watch in 2025

Europe (UEFA):

England and Germany are dominating the European scene.
Spain, fresh off their 2023 World Cup win, continue to climb the rankings.

North America (CONCACAF):

USA and Canada remain top contenders.
Mexico is rising quickly after investing in domestic women’s leagues.

South America (CONMEBOL):

Brazil is still the queen of South American soccer.
Keep an eye on Colombia, now breaking into the top 20.
